A Banished Failure Survives in the Borderland and Becomes an S-Rank Exorcist

Since then, we have come to the First Frontier City. [M] I just arrived, and now I'm on my way to a place to stay.

"Hah... they really suck. You're usually a criminal."

Well, yeah.

After that, I told Sofia everything. How did I end up in dusk for two years? [M] But she seemed to have guessed from that exchange, which is why she offered us a rescue ship. I would like to thank you honestly for your kindness.

"Still, I don't know if they're together... or if there's going to be a party..."

"That's what Sofia thinks, right? I've been listening to Yulia, and I've always thought so!

Sherry and Sofia were excited by their bad mouth, but I was always upset. [M] That would not have happened had I not been weak in the first place. If I had been strong for a long time, if I had the courage to reject their demands, that might not have happened.

Given that, I hesitated to accuse Dan. [M] I do have a grudge. My conscience holds back this burning hatred from the back of my body. [M] Above all, I didn't want to be like them. [M]

Just because I was strong, I hated the idea of bullying the weak. Indeed, in the twilight world, that was the truth. But that doesn't necessarily apply in the human world. I think strong people are here to protect the weak. Because the weak cannot defend themselves. So if the strong don't protect him, he dies. That's what I thought. If you use this power, do it for someone. It is people like me who are now. [M]

"Phew...."

"What's wrong, Julia?

"No, it's nothing, Shelly. So, it's been a party since tonight, right?

"Yeah."

And the three of us broke up by deciding to gather here again at night. Sherry, I hear you and Sofia have something to do. Fortunately, the party starts at night, so I'll be fine... but on the other hand, I'm out of hand.

So let's take a look around this borderline city.

That's how I decided to go into town. [M]

◇

As its name suggests, borders exist in borderline cities. The end of the line seems to have the effect of repelling the demons. It is harmless to humans, and it exists in all cities. But this prime city has more special boundaries. It's in the middle of the royal castle.

The royal castle. It's where the royal family lives. A royal family is a special being that maintains this bounded city. He, thanks to them, is holding the line. However, it is unclear what the rationale is, but it seems that the boundary can only be maintained from the first boundary city. Even if you are not directly in that city, all of the boundary cities are managed by the first boundary city.

That's why this place is special.

"Hey, Temee... what's that attitude?!? Ahh!!?

As you walk through the city, you hear that voice coming from behind the alley. And when I looked closely, it was the girl that was there. A girl with her hair wrapped in twin tails and a treacherous expression. But rather than being cute, it should have been described as beautiful.

She looks younger again... but she's surrounded by three big men. Looks like a mess.

"Hah... um, could you step aside?

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

"That's right... you're kidding me so much..."

And the man tries to pull out the sword on his waist. Probably all three are anti-magicians, but attacking humans is a crime. Besides, there's no way that girl can handle these men.

"I'm sorry... did she do something rude?

"Ah? Who's Teme?

"Um... it's my brother."

"Oh, oniisan..."

No, I don't believe it. I thought it was a pretty nasty thing to say, but does it make sense?

This girl and I don't look alike. First of all, the color of the hair is very different. I am pure white, whereas she is light peach. [M] And I have no resemblance at all. It's totally red, but I don't think men care. In the meantime, I think I'd like to exude frustration. Then you can have me. [M]

"If you're an older brother, you know how to put it on, right?

"Hey, let's do this."

"The usual one?

These three seem to be doing this on a routine basis. Apparently, we can't just let them go.

"Stay behind me... I'll take care of this."

"Mmm! Thanks, oniichan!

Oh... he's a good swallower. It suits my poor acting. [M]

And I stared at the three of them. All weapons are broadsworded. But they probably use magic. I immediately activated Twilight Site, the twilight eye, to check the magic flow.

Four attributes... Ice. I see, it feels like you're going to create ice at your feet, seal your movements, and then crumble... but...

"Whoa, kurahh!!

One of the men said that and activated the magic. But I didn't forgive it. With just one step, the magic element that is still building magic is cut with the invisible sword "Invisible Blade" starting from the index finger of the right hand. In order to activate magic, you must converge the magic elements. That means if we spray the convergence, we can disrupt the magic activation. Normally, magic elements cannot be perceived, so such tricks are impossible. But my Twilight Site catches it.

And a flash.

"Hah...!? Magic...!?

I'm in a hurry, but I'm already in front of you. Then he held the invisible sword "Invisible Blade" against his neck. In addition, the invisible sword "Invisible Blade" is also activated with the finger of the left hand. I'll put it on the necks of the other two. Slightly slit the skin for perception and even swallow invisible blades into the wall.

"... if you don't want to do anything anymore, will you go somewhere? I won't hurt you anymore."

"" "... hey hee hee!!

Three men leave with their eyes as if they were monsters. After all, I don't really feel like this... With that in mind, he turns to the girl.

"You look good. Very good. Is that magic? Out-of-the-box magic, and no attributes other than healing are unusual. Looks like an invisible sword. It seems that the length can be changed arbitrarily, but it is not yet free. Looks like you specialize in time. Now it's a finger, but other than a finger... you can use it if it's a stick, right? Looks like there's a starting point. What do you usually use?

"Eh... and... that knife..."

The atmosphere is different. I behave more confidently than before. Besides, I am somehow using honorific words. Even though he is younger, he is strangely pressured. And the analysis is too accurate. Can you see that in a second? Who is this kid?

"Knife... I see. The knife does nod to what I did earlier. But I've never seen anything like you... ah! Maybe you're Julia?

"Eh... it's true that I'm Julia, but how do you know?

"I'm Eira from the 6th year of the Antimagic Academy, the first castle fortress city. My rank as an anti-magician is... Premium. Ella the Premium Warlock. Greetings, Julia."

"Ha... eh!!?

This is how I met another new Premium vs. Mage.
